Book News!

It was a small gem of a book but it got lost on the bookstore shelves. After two years the publisher ceased selling it and The Farmstead Egg Cookbook disappeared. Many of you have asked for a copy, and I’ve sadly had to tell you that it was out-of-print and not to be found. But, this spring a new incarnation will be in available! An editor at Wiley asked me to enlarge the book and I have: I’ve written almost thirty more recipes to bring the total to 100. I’ve added a lot of text all about good eggs and what to consider when getting a backyard flock. This larger, improved version is tentatively titled The Farmstead Egg Guide and Cookbook. I can’t wait to share it with you and will let you know when it hatches in 2013!

Yaaay! I love that you added the extras about good eggs and choosing a flock. Can’t wait to buy a copy. Do you think I could get it autographed somehow – maybe through the bookstore in Carlysle, as I did with Tillie Lays an Egg?

I have an original copy of this cookbook which I purchased on Amazon last year. Have made a number of recipes from it and they all came out well. Also, made the popovers from your recipe. Came out perfect. Keep those egg recipes coming.

Getting it out by spring will be a rush! There are so many steps to bookmaking. My writing is just part of it. There’s editing, designing, the index, the printing and shipping… Will you be at the Congress? I’ll have to have a HenCam meet up there!

I’ve kept a backyard flock for two decades and I’ve spent years researching chicken care and observing hens. I blogged about my life with chickens and what I’ve learned here for ten years. If you’re looking for advice about a specific issue, you’ll likely find the answer in an FAQ or by doing a blog archive search.
